Its most likely been peaked a hundred times over the last 25 years but what the hell .
The Horse shoe,s are clearly marked the front one being DEV = Mic Gain which I can see is already fully up . SM=Recived needle position . SQ = Squelch Position . . The two at the back will be Low Power switch adjust at the left side and at the middle rear will be key up needle position . If you didn't notice these then you shouldn't really be twideling about inside as you will probably mess the radio up.

Hey thanks for replying...

I'm sure you can see this is the first time I have tried to do this haha...

I can't see those "Clear" markings?

Which Horse Shoes are you meaning? I don't want to fiddle with the wrong ones lol

EDIT: I think I see the Dev one at the front near the bottom of the photo?

Ahh, yeah it's because my Photo isn't very clear... Haha I'm sat here trying to zoom in lol... (I'm not near the Radio right now)

So if I fuddle with those, to get the best performance and audio can I cause damage? Are they a fairly safe thing to experiment with?

If the signal meter is showing correct poundage form your mates then you don't need to adjust the SM pot and when you key up if the needle goes to 4 wat or slightly more then the TX horse shoe wont need adjusting , If the needle hits the end when you key up then you could adjust back a little the TX horse shoe .
